The German Language Certificate

The school offers the exams for the German Language Certificate (Deutsches Sprachdiplom). The German Language Certificate is an official proof of German language proficiency, is organised and recognised by the Federal Republic of Germany and is extremely valuable for our learners for future studies, scholarship and job applications both locally and internationally.

Every year a sizable number of our high school learners write the exams for the German Language Certificate I & II (DSD I & II). We are very proud of the fact that almost all of them pass these exams.
